Just a bit of my memo...
A key difference that I noticed between Smith and MnE seem to be that of an idealist vs. a realist. While smith suggests what could and should happen as a result of the division of labor, Marx seems to argue against Smith, reporting on actual events that prove Smith's assumptions wrong.
specialization in a job brings forth creativity in an individual to
Smith suggests that a specialized people make for a better country - assuming fair and deliberate trade and a well-governed society, whereas Marx implies that a division of class is the result of the division of labor - the fewer upper class capitalists get rich and exploit the greater mass of the poorer working class, which exemplifies an unjust society.
